Vol 7 Chapter 9: Scream

Gotham City, a city where there are always thick clouds floating in the sky at night as a backdrop for searchlights.
Obviously located in New Jersey, a sunny and pleasant climate, Gotham City looks like an ancient southern European city in terms of climate and urban architecture.
This may be because the beautification project undertaken by the city government wasted a lot of taxes, and the gothic decorative gargoyle sculptures were ugly enough to scare passers-by at night.
From a distance, the city is full of high-rise buildings, like an obelisk sitting on a classical church. Not only is the sky covered by thick clouds in the city at night, there is always a light mist between the buildings. The whole city It looks like a neon-lit necropolis.
The nightlife of the citizens of Gotham is like dancing in the grave, nervous, exciting, noisy, and a little bit horrible and terrifying.
Gotham City is the only place in Hope Nation where whites have a high proportion of the total population-most of the gang leaders and criminals in the city are whites. Blacks are rare, but the crime rate is several times higher than that of the black community. city ​​of.
This is also a great achievement made under the premise that there is an evil nemesis, the night knight who "omnipotent, never make mistakes, never rest" in the city.
It is quite difficult for whites to beat blacks in terms of crime rate, but the people of Gotham did it. It was still in the relative prosperity of the city’s economic situation that they were praised for their honest folklore. Just like the black uncle on the African savannah, the quality is called a gentle and easy going.
Therefore, from Damian’s point of view, this wave of people is really unsuccessful. Send some severance pay to emigrate the rescued citizens. There is no need to pay attention to the rest. Even if you give up Gotham like abandon Detroit, let this garbage The white man and Gotham rotting together, it seems that there is nothing to regret.
There are many similar fallen cities in Africa, Latin America and Asia, and there is no hero with a righteous heart. He regards punishment and evil as a lifelong belief. God’s attitude towards these fallen cities is like destroying Sodo. Like the city of Gomorrah, Macheng evacuated a few good people and then slaughtered the city.
Superman also said that Gotham City is as sick as Batman and is completely hopeless.
How can Batman think he can be better than God and Superman, as long as he works hard to shed some blood, he can save Gotham?
But after all, Gotham City hides a lot of secrets, and many times there will be a weird situation of "DC Universe is chaotic, Gotham has the final say".
Is Batman because he insists on his belief in justice, or because Gotham has a metaphysical secret reason that must be guarded, Damian, who merely collected Gotham information through online investigations, is not sure.
People with firm convictions are worthy of respect, but they are worthy of emulation and learning. It is necessary to analyze the specific situation. Before figuring out how deep the water in Gotham City is, Damian can only keep his cheap father. The attitude of staying away.
...
At night, a huge explosion awakened a middle-aged man with a moustache. He quickly grabbed the glasses on the bedside table and put them on. Without rushing to turn on the light, he ran to the window and slightly opened the curtain. Glanced to the outside.
This man is the chief of the Gotham Police Department-James Gordon.
Before Damian was born, James Gordon had served as the chief of the Gotham Police Department in the Dark Knight incident. Now, twelve years later, with the close cooperation between him and Batman, Gotham City The law and order has been greatly improved, many gang leaders and super villains were sent to Arkham Asylum by Batman.
In the past two years, Director Gordon has occasionally had the opportunity to go home and get a good night's sleep, instead of squatting on the roof of the building every night and fiddling with searchlights.
Occasionally, Director Gordon will laugh at himself, saying that he is not the chief but the head of the lamp.
Looking out the window, Director Gordon's heart shook!
He saw a ninja wearing a black tights hiding in the shadows. The ninjas had quietly surrounded the apartment where he lived. What exploded just now was the police patrol car that he arranged to guard downstairs and was responsible for protecting his safety.
Ninja of the Assassin League?
Chief Gordon immediately recognized the identity of the attacker. In the incident twelve years ago, ninjas from the Assassin Alliance also appeared in Gotham. These alien crosses are far more terrifying than the local snakes. !
Every time a ninja appears in Gotham City, it means that an earth-shattering case will happen.
Director Gordon quickly took out the pistol from under the pillow and loaded the pistol neatly, thinking about how to stand out of the encirclement and not be captured by these unkind ninjas.
Chief Gordon is the leader of the Gotham City police. Once he becomes a prisoner, the entire city’s police system will fall into command chaos. At the same time, it will cut off the connection between the police and Batman. Targeting him is the capture of the thieves. , A good strategy that kills two birds with one stone.
Although he is a little older, Director Gordon is in good physical condition and has been trained in martial arts with the help of Batman.
He is confident that he can defeat the ninjas of the Assassin League in one-on-one or even one-on-two situations. As long as the strategy is appropriate and not alarming most of the attackers, he can quietly retreat.
You can only defeat the ninja one-on-one or one-on-two. Director Gordon feels a bit weak, but in fact, Gordon can single out more than a dozen gang fighters.
The ninjas of the Assassin League are all hard-trained elite assassins, each of whom is proficient in one or two fighting skills, and is not at the same level as the gang members in the city.
Tiptoing towards the corner of the room, Gordon gently pushed open a secret door. He had been blocked at home and beaten many times. He was also considered a long-term illness and became a doctor, so he arranged a way for himself to retreat.
As soon as he entered the secret door, his forehead was held up by the cold barrel of the gun. Gordon shook his heart again. He looked up and saw a strong man in the shadow, wearing a mask of yin and yang, hiding behind the secret door. Waiting for him to take the bait.
"The death knell?" The visitor was also an acquaintance of Director Gordon, he said in amazement: "What are you doing in Gotham?"
"Relax, Director Gordon." The death knell said solemnly: "As long as you cooperate obediently, I can guarantee that you will not be harmed, and Gotham City will not be destroyed..."
"Don't think about it..."
How can Director Gordon believe that this notorious mercenary leader, where this guy appears, will always set off a storm, this time he came to Gotham, he must have planned some terrible big conspiracy.
Without fear of the muzzle on his forehead, Chief Gordon wanted to fight back, but before he could punch him, he was hit by the death knell in the lower abdomen, clutching his stomach and slumped to the ground.
Soon after, the lights outlined the projection of bats on the endless clouds in the night sky of Gotham City.
On the roof of the building below, Director Gordon was tied to the searchlight, and the death knell stood on the edge of the building with his arms, waiting for the visiting guests.
At the same time, the outskirts of the city.
The towering steel gates of the Arkham Asylum rose slowly, and the Quincy Warden led by the prison guards with live ammunition waiting at the gate, also waiting for another visitor.
